Lt. '''Tucker "Duck" Clellan''' is a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilot on the battlestar ''[[Galactica]]''. | |||
Clellan is | [[Karl Agathon]] tries to introduce himself to Clellan when the latter is playing cards with [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]], [[Margaret Edmondson|Racetrack]] and [[Brendan Constanza|Hot Dog]] but is ignored by all except [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] due to his relationship with [[Sharon Agathon|Caprica-Sharon Valerii]]. | ||
Duck later participates in the [[Great Cylon Turkey Shoot|massacre of the disabled Cylon raiders]] ([[Flight of the Phoenix]]). | |||
According to [[Louanne Katraine|Kat]], Clellan is one of the best pilots that ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' still has. Clellan helps put [[Reilly]]'s things away after he's killed by Scar ([[Scar]]). | |||
Later, during a patrol of the [[Big Spud]], Duck unsuccessfully calls [[Brent Baxton|BB]] to retreat when their patrol's fuel is too low. BB, a [[nugget]], ignores orders and engages a group of Raiders with fatal results ([[Scar]]). | |||
Clellan tries to enter the [[Pilots Duty Locker|pilots' duty locker]] several times, but [[Lee Adama]] and [[Anastasia Dualla]] have locked it after spending the night together there ([[The Captain's Hand]]). | |||
At the time of the settling of [[New Caprica]], Clellan is an ace several times over with forty confirmed kills. His significant other, [[Nora]], is a fellow pilot. Both have apparently mustered out of Colonial fleet service, and Nora wants to settle with Clellan and make a family. When approached by [[Galen Tyrol]] and [[James Lyman]] in an attempt to recruit him into [[New Caprica Resistance|their resistance efforts]], Clellen declines over the desire to settle down with Nora. He is also a smoker, but quits due to his family plans. | |||
Following Nora's death in a Cylon attack on a temple, Clellan becomes violently upset at the revelation that the resistance was hiding weapons there. After a brief period of mourning, he relents and agrees to join the | Following Nora's death in a Cylon attack on a temple, Clellan becomes violently upset at the revelation that the resistance was hiding weapons there. After a brief period of mourning, he relents and agrees to join the resistance by infiltrating the New Caprica Police and keeping an eye on the Cylons ([[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance]]). | ||
Clellan later agrees to become a suicide bomber when the resistance learns about a NCP graduation ceremony, believing that [[Gaius Baltar]] will also be present. When [[Samuel Anders]] asks whether Clellan is committed, Clellan replies that, without Nora, he has nothing left to live for. | |||
Later on ''Galactica'', | Despite Baltar's last-minute withdrawal from the ceremony, Clellan detonates his bomb, which results in the deaths of 33 people and several Cylons ([[Occupation]]). The Cylons begin a crackdown, including mass abductions of suspected insurgents by the surviving NCP members ([[Precipice]]). | ||
Later on ''Galactica'', Lee Adama and Kara Thrace make a pact about where to place each other's photos on the wall of memories should either die. Adama requests to have his photo put next to Duck and Nora, with the comment "Good card players. Nice way to spend eternity." ([[Maelstrom]]) | |||

* It can be inferred by | * It can be inferred by Helo's apparent need to introduce himself to Clellan that he is a post-Cylon Attack addition to ''Galactica's'' air wing. Give the pilots' close-knit community, the two would probably know each other had they served together before. He is possibly a refugee from another Colonial unit like [[Alex Quartararo|Crashdown]] or another one of the [[nuggets]] trained by [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]]. | ||
